Hello I have just thouroughly cleaned (hot tanked etc.) and freshly painted an engine with vht engine enamel. My question is,,,,has anyone ever used vht clear???? Any problems? any flaking?? fading?? etc. I was told by half the people that it won't last,,,,and by the other half that it is still lasting after 3 yrs or so of daily driving??? Any real world experiences would be appreciated.

i've had good luck with vht engine paint // the whole key is making sure you get all oil residue of the block and head surfaces . wipe it down several times with thinner and keep changing rags to make sure the surface is oil free then 2-4 light coats and it will last pretty good
